Fitness Elements Express's Guide to Eating Right with the Family this Summer Part 8

Howdy Gang! It's me Natalie and I'm back! Here's to all my health and fitness friends! As I promised over the next two weeks I will map out a step by step food shopping list for you that will be updated ever other day on my blog giving you the checklist of foods you will need for your Summer Melt down Supermarket Diet Boot camp. The way to make this easy for you is to subscribe to my blog so you will get your updates every other day. That would be the easiest way for you to get the great helpful educational content that will get you melting down fat fast!

Keep in mind these lists may look like a lot of food at first but if we do this step by step it will be be so much fun for you, your family, and tummy in the sun! You'll be using the lists for the weeks ahead so stay with me. The lists assume you have nothing in the kitchen, not even salt! So, forgive me if you already some of these foods, but if not add them to your list and scratch off the rest of what you do have.

Tips to remember during these next few weeks of collecting your lists of foods and menu development for you and your family are these:

This isn't "diet food" but normal food in moderate portions.
Family members can simply enjoy larger portions, but this may be defeating the purpose if your trying to cut calories and lose weight. For instance if you have an active teenager they may have two chicken wraps for lunch, while you may have one.
Your husband can add more pecans and dressing to the Spinach salad for dinner, have more crackers, and perhaps finish with a piece of fruit. While you may only need one serving Mommy.
Take out your calorie controlled serving, then let the rest of your family have as much as they like! This can be a winning team sport for you and your family this Summer with your Summer melt Down Supermarket diet F.E.E. Boot camp plan.

There are no quantities on the lists you will have to determine that according to the size of your family. So, just use your good judgment and go through the menu plan and note what you will need. Also, for some of the fruits you may not want to by them too far ahead of time. So wait until we get through the list making so you can begin to put your menu planning together.

Here is the eighth day of foods and tips you will put on your food shopping list. This list is a cinch and will get you to keep open minded about Peanut Butter and and Nuts as a friendly, healthy and Rich Super-food!


Attention Shoppers!

Dieters have long viewed nuts as the enemy of their cause. Sure, nuts are high-calorie, being composed mainly of fat. But in moderation -about 2 tablespoons daily-nuts can actually help you out. By adding some fat to your otherwise fat-free meals (like cereal and fat-free milk), nuts help slow down the stomach emptying process, making you feel better, and fuller for a longer duration. Nuts are even more appetite-suppressing than other types of fats. When people spread peanut butter on their half of a morning whole grain bagel they felt less hunger than then those who ate the same number of calories with a butter-spread bagel, according to research at Arizona State University, East Mesa. Nuts are also good for your heart. Buy roasted and unsalted for big health benefit, big flavor, and lower-sodium intake.

Super Health and Nutrition Tip>

For reduced risk of heart disease and a great apetite suppressant try adding 1/4 of a cup of any of these nuts 5 or more times per week.

• Almonds
• Cashews
• Peanuts
• Pecans
• Walnuts

Take your Pick; they're all good for you!
